IMPORTANT—SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION Soil and water conservation is very important. We depend upon soil for our food, clothing and houses. Our high standard of liv ing is due to our soil. In fact, ev erything we have conies directly or indirectly from the soil. Some of our soil comes from rock. Wind and water break off some, some is cracked by tree roots, and water freezes in cracks, expands and splits th rock apart. Plants and animals decay and leave humus in the soils. Earth worms enrich the soil. Scientists think it takes about 600 years to form an inch of top soil. The A horizon is the topsoil. It has been acted upon by the wea ther. Plants grow in the topsoil. It contains humus. The B horizon is the subsoil. It has not been exposed to the action of the weather, so plant food has not been formed. The layers in the C horizon are I wry compact clay, gravel, or sol , id rock This is called the parent material There are many differences in soil, depending on the nock from which it was formed Silt and clay have very fine particles Sand and gravel have very' large or coarse particles. Usually sand doesn t contain much humus, and clay and silt and loam are apt to have a kit in them. Sand is light, while clay and loam are usually dark in color. Water soaks on through sand gravel, but it doesn't soak into clay very fast Clay holds more moisture than sand, however Humus in the soil helps the plants grow' better and enriches the soil We lose a lot of soil every year through wind and water erosion and by mis-use of land We have cut down forests that absorbed moisture and prevented erosion and have over grazed and over cropped the fields and ranges. I^ack of fertilization, lime, crop rotation, and other measures which build up soil have caused much damage. The top covering of the land has been removed so that water runs off bare fields taking the soil w'lth it . Contour farming, strip crop ping, terracing, grassed water ways, shelterbelts, and wise use of land prevent erosion. Contour furrows and terraces hold water and keep it from washing away. Grassed waterways carry' away the excess moisture. Shelterbelts prevent wind and w'ater erosion restore humus to the soil, furnish shelter for animals, help cool the atmosphere and make rain through the transpiration of their leaves. Erosion control practices, wise use of land, use of fertilizers, cov er crops, ect., conserve and build up the soil or future use The Soil Conservation Districts were organized in Nebraska in 1937 Nebraska was the first state west of the Mississippi to have all of its farm and ranch land in Soil Conservation Districts. The Dis strict area to help farmers in us ing good soil and water conserva tion practices. Meek News Mrs. Fred Umlberg Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Haynes re turned to their home at Parma lee, SD.
